I don’t get why people quote Jessup to make a point. He was the villain. Sorkin was displaying Jessup as a mix of self-entitlement and hubris, a man who believed the end justified the means. If the nitwit fans get arrested like he did, I’m all for that.

Other than that, you’re making a Felger argument: “I don’t really believe the arguments I’m making, but it’s all good because I don’t take myself seriously.” I don’t want entertainment; I want honesty and insight.

I don’t think the fans who flooded the message boards are less intelligent than the average fan. It’s just that they are aware that this whole sport thing is just for entertainment and so they aim to entertain. And no matter how you feel about them, you have to admit that they do make your day. They make you laugh and they make you feel better about your football intellect.

Seriously, Patriots fans at Gillette need to be called out. There is no home field advantage anymore. In fact, I’d surmise it’s the worst home field in football. If you’re gonna go to games to sit on your hands and talk to Sully from Southie on your Blackberry all game, then give up your tickets and let me blow out my voice and make noise. You’re an embarrassment to football fans.

That’s right on about the Super Bowl parties………years ago when I used to go to them I would hear those EXACT SAME DUMB comments that Dan listed. That’s why I stopped going to them.

You are totally correct in your analysis. If you’ve never heard Jim Rome’s “Softball Guy” rant you should youtube it now – same type of people as these morons. And yes many of them are Teabaggers.

Great article.
#16 was my favorite. I’ll still be watching on Sunday(or whatever day they play), regardless if Belichick speaks, or not.

Great article Dan, but how could you possibly forget to mention the absolute greatest (or dumbest), and unfortunately, recurring Internet message board post about the Patriots since last spring: “They kept the wrong quarterback; they shoulda kept Cassel!”

That’s my all-time favorite right there, but I have to agree with you that the “Brady only cares about Gisele and his jet-set lifestyle”; and “Brady’s not motivated anymore” rank right up there near the very top of the list too.

“why did we cut him and keep Galloway?”

Yeah, but I think that now.
